    National Park Service North Cascades National Park Service Complex U.S. Department of the Interior Stephen Mather Wilderness An Enduring Legacy of Wilderness “[I]t is hereby declared to be the policy of the Congress to secure for the American people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness.” — Wilderness Act, 1964 The North Cascades National Park Complex includes 684,000 acres in three units: North Cascades National Park, Lake Chelan National Recre- ation Area, and Ross Lake National Recreation Area. Congress has designated 94% of the Complex as the Stephen Mather Wilderness. Today, as in the past, wilderness is an important part of every American’s story. People seek out wilderness for a variety of reasons: physical or mental challenge; solitude, renewal, or a respite from modern life; or as a place to find inspiration and to explore our heritage. What draws you to visit wilderness? The Stephen Mather Wilderness is at the heart of over two million acres of some of the wildest lands remaining, a place “where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man….” Untrammeled (meaning“free of restraint,” “unconfined”) captures the essence of wilderness: a place where the natural processes of the land prevail, and the developments of modern technological society are substantially unnoticeable. Here, we are visitors, but we also come home—to our natural heritage. It is a place to experience our past, and a place to find future respite. This is the enduring legacy of wilderness. To Hope, B.C.

  • The Wild Cascades
    THE WILD CASCADES This is why a Forest Service "recreation area" is not adequate protection for the scenery, and why a North Cascades National Park is urgently needed. Glacier Peak from White Chuck River by Dick Brooks The Wild Cascades 2 SUNRISE ON A TIDAL WAVE When the North Cascades National Park is dedicated — and it will be, the only questions being which year and with how much acreage — many of those present at the ceremonies will breathe a prayer of thanks for the June 1965 issue of Sunset Magazine. For recent immigrants to the West who may not know, Sunset has a circulation numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and a readership in the millions. It's an influential magazine. People build houses, cook meals, and plan vacations from Sunset. So, what was on the cover of the June Sunset ? A photograph of a couple of kids poking around the shores of Lyman Lake, with Bonanza and clouds beyond. And a question: "DOES WASHINGTON GET THE NEXT NATIONAL PARK?" What was inside the June Sunset ? A full 14 pages on "Our Wil­ derness Alps. " A two-page color-spread of Glacier Peak from Image Lake, a full-page map of our proposed park and recreation area, three large photos by Tom Miller of peaks and meadows, and three more by Bob and Ira Spring and the editors. And many thousands of words about the geography and places to go — and about the need for protection. Very much about the need for protection. We park protagonists have done some publishing about our pro­ posal, and are going to do some more soon, but when the score is added up, the June 1965 Sunset will be counted one of the decisive blows.

  • July 2016 Report
    Editor’s Note: Recreation Reports are printed every other week. July 20, 2016 For those contemplating a short day hike or a long trek into the backcountry, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest visitors need to keep a few safety guidelines in mind before heading to the woods. People generally get in trouble hiking because they are not prepared, don’t have the necessary equipment, experience or ability. Here are a few safety guidelines to ensure that your trip is a safe one. Essentials you should take with you: Water. Always take water with you. It’s very easy to become dehydrated. Food. Pack healthy food you can snack on during your hike. First Aid Kit. For those short day hikes, take a little first aid kit that contains things for scrapes and cuts and for insect stings or bites. For the longer hikes, be sure to carry a more extensive first aid kit that might contain pain relievers, roller bandages, gauze, tape, etc. Layers of clothing. As weather conditions change, add or remove clothing so that you are comfortable. With the recent storm front that have recently moved through the state, rain gear would also be appropriate for those contemplating multi-day excursions. What about navigational aids? No, you don’t have to have the latest GPS unit or app on your phone. You do need to have a basic knowledge of the area where you’re going before you go, though. Know how to read a map and carry it with you on your trip. If you have a compass and know how to use it take it along, too.

  • Editor's Note: Recreation Reports Are Printed Every Week Through
    Editor’s Note: Recreation Reports are printed every other week. June 24, 2015 The 4th of July holiday is always a favorite for those who like to visit the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Ranger district personnel expect to be busy with the usual influx of recreationists, and popular campgrounds will likely be full by Thursday. Historically, this holiday also commands the attention of national forest fire management officials. "The use of fireworks on National Forest lands is a major concern to us," said Fire Staff Officer Keith Satterfield. “Fireworks of any kind are illegal on all National Forest lands.” “All areas of the forest are very dry and we are concerned about the use of fireworks on lands adjacent to the National Forest,” Satterfield said. “This year we are especially concerned due to the dry spring and lack of snowpack. We have late July dry forest conditions occurring right now in late June, a full month early. Due to the above normal fire danger and the upcoming 4th of July holiday, additional firefighting resources will be standing by in case a wildfire starts.” During the long holiday weekend, ranger district personnel across the forest will be on the lookout for the illegal possession or use of fireworks in the forest. "Our employees have been instructed to confiscate any fireworks they discover," Satterfield said. There are monetary penalties for those in possession of fireworks on the National Forest. Law breakers can be subject to a citation and a fine up to $500 or imprisonment for not more than 6 months or both.
